re: Anyone have any experience with airedale terriers?

Welsh Terriers look a lot like Airedales just smaller

my in laws neighbor's have a pair. like most dogs they required a little training as puppies but they are both great dogs. the female loves to go running with its owners, the male is a lazy SOB lol. They do require a haircut a few times a year. In my opinion they seem to be good dogs and have a good temperament the few times i have been around them.

Grew up with them in my house, my parents have had them for the past 40+ years. We've had 4 in my lifetime

They are amazing around kids and protective in a non-aggressive manner. 2 of the last 3 males would sit on my mom's foot when there was work being done on the house and they went to talk to her.

The last 2 we had were brother/sister. Sister was absolutely a diva and as the name goes a "bitch". She sadly passed away this year. Her brother is still alive at 12 and he is just the most friendly dog ever.

From my experience they dont do a lot of "dog" things. They don't play with toys or balls often, they don't really "cuddle" because they are terriers.

They dig

I'll see if anything else comes up as I think about it
